At the Ministry for Women, our people are a talented and diverse team who bring with them a range of different experiences and backgrounds.
The Ministry for Women is guided by three principles – our kō wai mātou – that explore how we work together as individuals, teams, and as one to achieve the best outcomes for women and girls in New Zealand.
- Kia Māia: we are brave and courageous in all we do.
- Tūia Mai: we embrace and support wāhine from all communities.
- Whakamanawa: we lead with heart to achieve the best outcomes.
The ko wai mātou are visually represented throughout our work by tāniko patterns inspired by woven cloaks and atua wāhine like Hine-tītama (a Māori goddess who shines light onto the world) and Hineteiwaiwa (the goddess of weaving).
Exciting career opportunities are available for talented, energetic, and innovative people who want to make a positive difference in the lives of women and girls in Aotearoa New Zealand.
We are committed to providing a working environment that values inclusion, diversity, and accessibility. We embrace the unique perspective and capabilities of our current and future employees, which will help us to improve outcomes for women and girls.
While many of our roles are policy-focused, from time to time there are opportunities in other areas such as human resources, finance, IT, administrative and support roles, communications and engagement, data and insights, the Nominations Service, and Ministerial servicing.
We offer on-the-job career development, secondments within the Ministry and to other government agencies, learning and development opportunities, and leadership training.
If you have any support or access requirements, we encourage you to tell us when you apply so that we can assist you through the process.
